The Canadian government addressed the issue of unfair advantage by (a) passing Bill C-58. Advertising expenses of Canadian firms would not qualify for tax deductions unless those firms had advertised in Canadian-owned and Canadian-based publications (p. 185). (b) passing Customs Tariff Code 9958. This was a law passed against "split-run"…
I woke up in Los Mochis, anxious to get on with our day. The next stop was Mazatlan, which is on the Pacific Coast of Mexico across from the southernmost tip of the Baja California Peninsula. We were only planning to stay there long enough to get fuel and eat lunch. In the mid-1800’s, a large group of German immigrants transformed Mazatlan from a native fishing village into a thriving seaport. One of their continuing legacies is the local music which is called Banda and is a variation of…
There are four producers that conducted and created the documentary Maquilopolis. The names of these producers are Vicky Funari, Sophia Constantinou, Alex Armenta, and Sergio De La Torre. These four individuals are a mix of American and Mexican producers. They released this documentary in January 2006 and filmed most of the time in Tijuana and Baja California. The focus of the film was on the U.S.-Mexican border factories and the lives of the women working there. These four producers made the…
Globalization is happening everywhere in the world nowadays. Mexico is an example that filled with transnationals, which is the sign of globalization.

I believe that Bill Clinton is one of the greatest presidents of our time. Clinton’s strong leadership style, viewpoints on terrorism and education as well as his involvement in foreign affairs allowed him to maneuver as president in a way that should be admired. Clinton has a strong senses of leader ship that allowed his administration to flourish. He has intellectual qualities that allow him to see how world problems can be solved. During the Clinton administration he not only handled domestic…
Why America is better than Canada To preface this essay, let it be known that I had originally wanted to type this as a Skype message, but eventually realized that I would need an entire essay to explain why the U.S. is better than this loathsome piece of freezing diarrheic filth. Many sources were needed to put this together, and I will attack on all fronts. Maybe you can go get your feelings checked after this you vile, vacant, worthless cunts. First of all, many Canadians want to live in…
Canada, like most countries obviously have a motive to protect their heritage and to make sure that the culture is not dominated by outside sources so with that in mind, one can claim that the arguments from the Canadian side are genuine indeed. On the other hand this kind of cultural global trade is usually encouraged and beneficial to both sides. In this particular case it is stated that 89% of the magazines in Canada are imported from the united states, which can show on a somewhat…
“Should Canada and the United States have a common economic system with little government” is a question asked by many canadians and americans around the world. I am here to answer that question. This is not just a tiny question this is what will determine the future of Canadians. The United States of America is proposing that we switch to their style of economy so that it will meet our citizen’s needs. The economy that the United States wants Canada to convert to is called a market economy. A…
In addition to the direct failures of the intervention, we can learn a great deal about the American failure through the consequences of Somalia. Domestic politics drives foreign policy, and in the case of Somalia, the domestic backlash sheds light on what was a step in the wrong direction for security as seen through Presidential Decision Directive 25. After the tragedy of the battle of Mogadishu and Black Hawk Down, President Clinton was facing mounting domestic pressure to ‘bring the boys…
